One of the most popular comedies of all time, Arsenic produced a smash hit in New York, spawned a Frank Capra film starring Cary Grant, and has been delighting audiences for decades.

Walking While Black

Harford Community College is hosting a film screening and discussion with filmmaker A. J. Ali of Walking While Black: L.O.V.E. is the Answer. Ali will be at both screenings and will be joined by a panel of community residents. The event is free and the public is welcome to attend. Walking While Black, a film by A. J. Ali and Errol Webber, examines how to bridge the gap between peace officers and the rest of the community. As minority communities face the daily stranglehold of racial profiling and police officers face relentless scrutiny by an anxious public, tensions mount. The conflict can only be broken by finding common ground with each other. Free
